It is indeed bad blood. Let's see a few: 1. "*Allwinner <http://linux-sunxi.org/Allwinner> does not actively participate in or support this community. In fact, it is violating the GPLv2 license <http://linux-sunxi.org/GPL_Violations> in several ways and has so far not shown willingness to resolve this."* Source: http://linux-sunxi.org/Main_Page (it is in bold, on the first page of the Wiki!)
2. "But with A80, Allwinner decided to step this up a notch, or two, or all the way to 11." Source: http://linux-sunxi.org/A80 (sensationalism) 3. "Over time, Allwinner has only increased the binary blobs present in their kernel trees, showing clearly that, even though Allwinner in the meantime joined Linaro, it is not progressing. Quite the opposite actually, and one has to worry about what value Linaro membership really has if a member is allowed to behave like this." Source: http://linux-sunxi.org/GPL_Violations (slander) Your personal point of view (POV) is self-evident in your changes in the Wiki. If this was Wikipedia, you would have been locked out of the wiki already. Now, you are going to remove these fragments just to make the text your wrote appear "neutral". But the damage has been done; there is so much bad blood that no matter what is the outcome, you personally will never be able to reconcile yourself with further sunxi development.
